Water Handling and Osmo-regulation- Al Jaber Flashcards
total body weight=
wt (kg) x 0.6
normal osmolality range
280-300
blood - RBC’s
plasma
plasma - clotting factors
serum
total concentration of all particles in solution
osmolality
contributes 97-98% of total osmolality
Na+
concentration of only the osmotically active particles
tonicity
contributes to tonicity in ECF
Na+
contributes to tonicity in ICF
K+
____maintains osmotic equilibrium by responding to changes in solute concentrations
water
caused by an excess amount of water in system and therefore decreases Na+ concentration
hyponatremia
1-2% change in plasma osmolality causes ______handling
water

out of 180L/day filtered, what reaches collecting duct
18L
minimum urine osmolality concentration
50
approximate plasma osmolarity concentration
280-300
____ cannot make pure water
kidneys
what causes changes in cell volume
tonicity
